The Central Line has gone horribly wrong this morning.

I went to bed last night with a general feeling of bonhomie towards public transport. A jolly good weekend 'Up North'.

First thing I heard this morning on the radio was 'Total suspension of the Central Line". Aargh!

I quick rejig of the diary then followed. At about 8.15am services were resumed at the outer extremities of the Central Line, but the service is still totally suspended between White City and Leytonstone (ie the central bit of the Central Line is missing at present).

"Signal systems failure". Happy Monday.

Later: At 8.46am I believe trains started to run to all destinations. Even assuming the signalling system doesn't fail again, expect delays, alterations etc for many hours to come.

I don't generally have the technical ability to 'blog live' so there will be no more updates on this matter. Probably. There is however a brief BBC News article here.

Considering the whole of the Central was down from start of traffic, the must have fixed something.
